Maraveh Tappeh Explained

Maraveh Tappeh (fa|مراوه تپّه) is a city in the Central District of Maraveh Tappeh County, Golestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.^[2] As a village, it was the capital of Maraveh Tappeh Rural District^[3] until its capital was transferred to the village of Suzesh.^[2]

Demographics

Ethnicity and religion

The city was fully Turkmen in its ethnic composition and Hanafi Sunni Muslim in its religion. But as of late, it has been settled by a growing number of Khurasani Kurds of Shia Islamic religious persuasion. Consequently, the town now has a mixed ethnic and religious population of Sunni Turkmens and Shia Kurds.
